At 19 I had a psychotic break at UC Berkeley. Hardly slept for two weeks. Thought I was the messiah. Ended up in the psych ward.

4 hospitalizations. 5 meds. My psychiatrist told me I was treatment-resistant.

He was wrong. Here are the metabolic strategies that healed me. 🧵 Image Strategy 1: Ketogenic / Carnivore diet

Your brain can become insulin resistant. When that happens, neurons can't fire properly, and you get psychiatric symptoms.

Ketones bypass the broken insulin pathway and fuel your neurons directly. The brain actually prefers them over glucose.

I went keto January 4th, 2021. My manic episodes stopped. Not reduced. Stopped. I've since switched to carnivore and feel even better.
